Events View Menu
The view menu controls how events are displayed, updated, and organised. Use these controls to customise your viewing experience for different monitoring scenarios.
View Controls
- Thumbnail View - Display events as image thumbnails in a grid layout. Ideal for visual scanning and quick incident identification.
- List View - Display events in a compact list with timestamps, camera names, and event types. Preferred for alarm monitoring and control room operations (VMS/ARC usage).
Playback & Updates
Real-time Updates
Automatically display new events as they occur. Pauses when interactive elements are active, then resumes when closed.
Live Preview
Replaces static event thumbnails with live camera feed for active events. Shows what's happening right now instead of a captured image.
Audio Notifications
Plays sound notification when new events arrive. Useful when real-time response to new events is paramount.
Scaling Mode
Toggle between two display modes:
- Fit - Shows complete image with borders. Keeps original aspect ratio.
- Fill - Stretches image to fill screen. Shows more detail but may crop edges.
Layout & Display
Grid Size
Adjust the layout density:
- Thumbnail View: Number of columns (1-4)
- List View: Thumbnail size of events
Reset Button
Restore all view settings to their defaults. Resets view layout, grid size, and playback options.
Event State Filters
Event states help operators track workflow and maintain an organised response queue.
All

Pending
Events currently being reviewed. Automatically set when opened, clears after 3 minutes of inactivity.
Hidden
Events hidden from view but still recording. Excludes notifications and real-time updates.
